I live in Los Angeles. I am an art and music lover. I recently retired and I'm trying to spend as much time as possible playing golf and traveling. My profile pic is a photo that I took of a brown bear at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center on my trip to Alaska in June 2022. The banner image is from the plane flying into Anchorage on that same trip. All photos posted are cell phone pics taken by me unless otherwise noted. Joined Post 12/5/2022.
